I thought I'd do it as well, since it won't be ready for Halloween..and I will be going to Europe, for my honeymoon in Oct. So that is time i will lose in the build.

I just bought this a few weeks ago off a member, I thought wow paint and boom I have a Rocketpack!

Nope.. it has a few things needed to be done to it before I paint/wear it... its all good though, i like a chalange.

This is for my ESB version so if anyone know of any difference betwenn ESB/ROTJ let me know... eg; the bottom vent direction.

Here is the pack as i got it with some of the issues that i need to fix.
Medicine cap I will use for the rocket section re-build.
So is the direction of the vents right for ESB, LMK.
A lot of work for the section near the thrusters...Grrrr and this won't be seen ever...sigh.
I'll also have to get this crown part cleaned up, all but one is free of extra resin. ugh!
Well thats it for now, i'm too lazy to post anymore...lol, i just woke up.

Well, its been a while since I've actually worked on this Rocket-pack.

And now that 99centTaco is sending his "Experimental JP Harness"

I needed to get this done ASAP, so i can do a review on the harness...,It looks rough, all it needs is a bit of filler/bondo in a few areas and a shot of primer.

I'm going to have a guy turn me a new rocket, the one on the kit is too wonkey for my taste.

Well on to the pics!

I was planing to do a bit more detail to make it movie accurate, but due to time and "real" life. i decided to just close her up and put an opening... i do plan to make her a "smoking" rocket-pack. and found a place that has great prices on parts!

I may make up "smoking kits" to sell if mine works out!! and these won't break your wallet.

I still can't decide on which method i want to attach it to the harness... movie accurate or the standard trooping black clips.

Well here are some up to date pics,
All primed up ready to paint, i had to bondo a small indent in the back..as you can see.
I also cut out an opening and added points the cover can rest on.
lmk what you think....

Don't mind the diff colored primer..lol and the rocket is going to be replaced as well.
oh and i need to add the piano keys too...doh!
